Heart-shaped Cookies (Youth Conference continues)

chanson, April 23, 2007

    I love this! It cracks me up!
    Awww, heart shaped cookies… I remember doing stupid stuff like this in BYU country. My friend Kim and I made cute jack-o-lanterns one year for a few guys that we liked and left them on their doorsteps with candy.
    We used to also dress in blond wigs and she would spank me in the parking lot at Smith’s… but that’s another story.
    Those were the days. LOL
